Removing stickers from comp mos
Will it take the paint off?
They are the old style 5 spoke... Think the stickers have been on there a while, so would it show too if I took them off?
Anyone done it!?

James, boil the kettle & pour the hot water over the stickers that way the stickers will come off easily without damaging the paint

AJ,
Is this a tried and tested method?
Or are you just going on the fact it should melt the sticky?

the kettle method is so the boilign water would heat the glue on the stickers up and then they peel off easily

Cheers for the info mate, what that when they were new or when you'd already had them a couple of years?
I'm just worried as they've been on there a while it may be different
Which ones were they mate, these are the old style 5 spoke...

Mind seal them aswell before you put them on jimbo then the dirt will come off them easier in future.
